This paper analyses the way in wich some international mythical and folcloric elements are used by H. P. Lovecraft for the construction of his science fiction tale The Shadow out of Time. Having as source the oral aboriginal cultures of Australia, Lovecraft makes use of the legends and myths of the Sleeping Giant, the strong winds, the sinister moon, the mysterious fields of rocks, and the fossilised fingerprints of the giants of Dreamtime.
